See what the “Scientific American” magazine of  June 18, 1846 considered “Healthy Recreation”. The article notes that: “…it would be much more conducive to the health and happiness of the world if more encouragement as given to such modes of recreation among children & young people as are accompanied with wholesome exercise rather than the dull stagnating amusements of the nursery or parlor.” (see below)

• Surprise! Mary really did have a little lamb…
• Cigarettes… Fitness you can…
• Snapshot 1922… John who?
• A little monkey business… and food for thought…
• Edward Cave Junior, and his Gentleman’s Magazine…
